This is me and my life - Akkina Downing

They said it’s time I settle down

If I can’t find a man of my own 

They will be pleased to help me with that

They’re going to find me my man 

They’re talking about me

As if they’re advertising me publicly 

Like I’m up for sale 

Ready to be picked off the dusty shelf 

Wow 

Do I not have my rights anymore

What is life without your own rights

Is life only complete when sharing with someone

But what’s wrong with my free spirited life 

I’m happy

I’m enjoying life freely and joyously 

I’m please to say my freedom is my happiness 

This is me my body and my life 

I hold the wheel but trust God to guide me 

My life isn’t perfect but I am living in the moment

My freedom let’s me do as I please

So put a stop to make me your business 

I maybe journeying alone but never lonely 

Who said happiness is only when coupling 

Happiness is your free will and to know God 

It’s unbeknownst when 

It’s unbeknownst whom

My heart be captured by IF EVER

But I’m not dying to get there to find out

I’m exploring life in my fearless freedom 

Because the possibilities are unbounded 

This world is full of life and adventure 

I am a free soul seeker with a passion to experiencing my true self life 

 And with that said

This is me and my life 

I make my decision choosing my path 

And until then I’m driving solo singing loudly
